USA Federal Credit Union Payment Plan:

The
University of South Alabama Credit Union
is offering USA students a low cost plan for financing 100% of
tuition, fees, housing, and meal plans with equal payments
over *four months* during the semester, subject to credit approval.
A book allowance of $350 is also offered. To qualify for this plan, a student
must meet the Credit Union eligibility requirements. The last day to
apply for the USA Federal Credit Union Tuition Payment Plan is August 22, 2013, for Fall Semester 2013 and January 16, 2014, for Spring Semester 2014.

The finance fee is anticipated to be 12% Annual Percentage Rate (APR), although this
rate is subject to change. In order to qualify for this tuition loan, a student must join the USA Federal
Credit Union by depositing $25 into a share account. This amount will be returned to the student when the
student no longer wishes to belong to the USA Credit Union.

Financial Aid Refunds:

Financial Aid refunds will be distributed after Drop/Add. The Office of Student Accounting will review eligibility after the third day of class and process the refunds within 10 business days. Refunds will continue to be processed via direct deposit and checks.

For more detailed information, please see the Schedule of Classes for fall semester. Remember, if you are a financial aid recipient, be sure to apply early and complete your file timely. Enrollment Services will be happy to direct students to the proper office, should assistance be needed.

Students who have been awarded financial aid may now charge their books at the USA Bookstore immediately. Students will no longer need to wait until their financial aid balance is returned to them to buy books. If a student has been awarded financial aid by USA's Office of Financial Aid and has excess funds after all tuition, fees, meals, and housing have been paid, he or she may charge up to $750 (or the available balance, whichever is less) of books at the USA Bookstore. The Bookstore will have the available amount at checkout. Bookstore charges will be placed on the student's account and covered by the financial aid disbursement. Bookstore charges will run from August 11-20, 2014 for Fall Semester 2014, January 7-14, 2015 for Spring Semester 2015.

GUARANTY TUITION BOND

FEDERAL FINANCIAL
AID RECIPIENT WITHDRAWALS AND REFUNDS

Return of Federal
Financial Aid Refunds

When a student
completely withdraws from school, a portion of Federal
Financial Aid grant or loan funds, except for Federal
Work-Study earnings, must be returned to the applicable
federal program(s).

The refund is
based on the concept of "earned" and "unearned"
federal financial aid and how it relates to the
percentage of time the student was enrolled. The
percentage of enrollment completed determines the
percentage of earned aid.

For example, if
a student attends 25 days of a 100-day term, the
percentage of earned aid is 25%; and therefore,
75% of the unearned aid, up to the total of institutional
charges, will be returned to the federal financial
aid programs. Institutional charges consist of tuition,
fees and campus housing (excluding Hillsdale).

In some circumstances,
a student may need to repay a portion of the unearned
aid. This repayment would not be more than one-half
of the grant monies initially received. The student
will be notified by Financial Aid if he/she owes a
federal repayment.

NOTE:
If your Title IV Financial Aid refund is greater
than the posted University refund at the time of
your withdrawal, you will owe the difference to
the University. The Office of Student Accounting will notify you
of the amount due.

If a student completely
withdraws after completing 60% of the term, then
it is assumed that the student has earned 100% of
his/her federal aid award, and no funds will be returned
to the federal programs.

For an example of the proposed Return of Title IV Funds Worksheet,
please see either the Office of Student Accounting or the
Financial Aid Office located in Meisler Hall.

DELINQUENT/UNPAID ACCOUNTS

In the event of an unpaid balance of any nature on the students account (including any unpaid check returned by a bank) the following services will be withheld until the balance is paid in full:

Enrollment for subsequent terms

Transcripts, including any for transfer of college credits

Grades, including viewing on PAWS

Diploma

If it is necessary to refer an unpaid account to an outside collection agency, any costs and fees of collection (up to 34% of the debt) will be added to the student's account, and the account will be reported to the credit bureaus. If legal action is required to collect the account, attorney fees will be added to the amount due.

OFFSET OF FUNDS

If
a students University account has an outstanding
balance due and the University has in its possession
any funds payable to the student (from payments
or credits applied to the students account,
payroll checks, and/or any other source, except
federal financial aid awards), the University reserves
the right to withhold the funds necessary to clear
the students outstanding balance and to cover
any collection costs incurred. Once those amounts
are paid, any remaining funds are paid to the student.

CHECK-CASHING SERVICE

Checks drawn on
out-of-town banks to a maximum of $25.00 may be
cashed at the Office of Student Accounting by presenting a valid I.D. card. A $15.00
charge will be made on each returned check not paid
by the bank. Checks are not cashed for students
during the last two weeks of classes each semester.
